The latest airline news from Australia and around the world by Zac George. Zac has been following Aviation ever since a young child. From taking photos of aircraft to flying Pioneer aircraft, Zac loves anything Aviation related. Zac started the blog in 2015 in the hope of keeping people updated on all of the latest airline news in Australia but also from around the world.
If you’ve been watching the news over the past few days or simply keeping up to date on social media, I almost guarantee you would have seen something about the upcoming industry strikes that will be happening from Qantas’ LCC, Jetstar.
The budget carrier will be subject to more 100 flight cancellations as staff from the airline will not be showing up to work and industry action will be taking place, these job roles include baggage handlers, ground support staff and even pilots.
I try and keep my blog as travel-oriented as possible and tend to not touch on sensitive topics but I thought it’d be worthwhile posting this information as a lot of customers will be affected by these strikes.
Jetstar 787-8 Dreamliner

As you can see, the majority of the cancellations will be domestic services with only a few Bali flights getting the cut over the next few days. During these strikes, Sydney Morning Herald is reporting that the airline will use larger aircraft as well the possibility for passengers to be moved onto Qantas services.
I’ll update the post with more information as it gets announced but if you’re flying Jetstar on any of these days, please let me know your experiences.
